VOLUME CONTROL DAMPER

VOLUME CONTROL DAMPERS VCDS 800 SERIES

DESCRIPTION . ILLUSTRATIONS
With its opposed blade operation closing system, volume control damper (VCDS 800 series) is designed for controling air flow and pressure in HVAC systems. Designed to operate with opposed blade action (providing better aerodynamics), volume control damper provides better balancing control or airflow rates. Blades are formed from single skin construction with grooved blade tips to produce an interlocking blade closure, either via manual or automatic operation. Manually operated dampers are supplied as standard with a lockable quadrant assembly, thus allowing for conversion to motor operation without the need for additional components.

CONSTRUCTION
. Square and round VCDs available . Triple V-Groove Opposed Blade operation . Available in manual or motorised models . Actuation available in following configurations: i) Hand locking quadrant arm ii) Worm gear drive iii) Bare shaft iv) Factory installed actuator

MATERIALS
. Stainless steel construction available . Frame construction: 0.7-1.5 mm galvanized steel (Size dependant) . Blade construction: 0.7-1.0 mm galvanized steel (Size dependant)
